Zi Ping Lin, a 48-year-old restaurant owner in Henrico, Virginia, was fatally shot on July 11, 2007, during an apparent robbery that turned violent. His death devastated his family and the local community he served.

The investigation identified a teenager, Jah-son C. Fortune, who was arrested and charged in connection with Lin’s killing. The case moved into the courts, where evidence was presented at trial. In July 2008 a judge sentenced Jah-son C. Fortune to life in prison plus 33 years for the murder of Zi Ping Lin.

What questions remain about the robbery and the events that led to the shooting that summer?
